IMO they should. You can
 
        cd /var/cache/zypp/solv/<alias of the repo>
        dumpsolv solv | less

-then search to '^name: patch:grep'
-below you find the 'provides:'


What's the repo you're using?

yes. 


> BTW: what is the difference between setToBeInstalled and setTransact()?

setTransact sets the transact bit, causing an uninstalled item to be 
installed, or an installed item to be removed.

setToBeInstalled sets the transact bit only if it is an uninstalled item,
and returns false for installed items.

    bool setToBeInstalled (TransactByValue causer)
    {
      if (isInstalled()) return false;
      return setTransact (true, causer);
    }
